Luke's note: The county line question is really a schools question for most families. Before you commit to a side, check the exact address against the zoning map — a few streets sit closer to the line than you'd guess. We homeschool, so I don't have a lot of first-hand classroom experience, but Spring Hill is crawling with kids and schools are a huge part of the conversation.
